Well yes, you do have a point there!

You should check out Ben L'oncle Soul's version, Kaffers.

And as we edge nearer to the Dancing On Ice final, it's time for the show that's caused sleepless nights, heartache and more than a few choice words from our celebrities in previous years.

Yes! It's time for PROPS WEEK! Only this year, it's not just any old props that we're using. Oh no! We've got an extra-special theme...

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages... welcome to the Dancing on Ice circus!

Our five remaining celebrities will each take on the role of a key member of the circus troupe. But can you guess who will be... The LION TAMER? The STRONGMAN? The GYMNAST? The MAGICIAN? And, of course, The CLOWN?

That would have been Andys role but with him out I think it will be Chico

Tonight's show purportedly starts at 7:15, but still runs only to 8:30.

This seems a bit strange to me as last week it started at 6:35....and we've only lost ONE couple.

40 minutes shorter?

I was thinking the same fluffs... just been checking the V+ planner was working properly!

I have it on my TV guide as 7.30 whilst 8.30 with the 2nd show around 9.30 ish but it is a tad flexi 

It's really weird, cos next week it says it starts at 7pm, but we've got one less again!

I'm sure someone must have made a mistake. I fully expected tonight's to start at 6:45pm.

I'll be keeping a close eye on it.

Hi Kasper yes, the second show is 9:30 to 10:05.

Just a bit weird about the timing of the start of the first show.

could it be that they did 2 routines last week - individual and the boy/girl group ??

this week  back to 1 routine and next week maybe they are throwing something extra in again ????

I have it for 7.15 tonight and 7.00 next week

next week is Semi Final and the only thing mentioned at the moment is a Torville and Dean Special Routine 

Aha, MrsH, I think you've solved the mystery, 'cos I think it started at roughly the same time both last week and the week before.

last week was back to ridiculously early again - it had been nudging a tad later but .....

we are back to more sensible times 

hadnt took notice how many was left and didnt realise we were so close to the end 

Yes, I think that was because, as you so rightly stated, there were the two team routines to show as well as the individual ones.

If it hadn't been for that it would probably have started around 6:55 or so.

Yes, final a fortnight today, but The Apprentice starts a week on Wednesday - or there abouts.
